Salt is everywhere—in our kitchens, in our processed foods, and even in the advice we’re constantly given about our health. But here’s a question that doesn’t get asked nearly enough: Are processed foods high in iodized salt? And if they are, don’t we already get enough iodine?

Turns out, the answer is more complicated—and more important—than most of us realize.

The Salt in Processed Foods: Iodized or Not?
It’s easy to assume that the salt in processed foods is iodized. After all, most of us think iodized salt is the standard, right? Not exactly.

Less than 50% of the salt on the market is iodized, and manufacturers of processed food typically don’t use iodized salt. Why? It’s cheaper and more stable for long-term shelf life. So while we may be eating large amounts of sodium through chips, canned goods, sauces, and frozen meals, we’re not necessarily getting the iodine our bodies need.

Iodized Salt Benefits—and Limitations
So, is iodized salt good for our body? Yes—to a degree. Iodine is essential for the thyroid, which regulates hormones, metabolism, and growth. But the thyroid isn't the only gland that needs iodine. The breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate, pancreas, salivary glands, and even the brain also store and use iodine.

The problem is that the amount of iodine in iodized salt is minimal—just enough to prevent goiter, not to nourish all these other tissues. Add to that the rise of fluoride and bromide exposure (from water, medications, processed food, and even furniture), which compete with iodine for absorption, and you’ve got a modern recipe for widespread iodine deficiency.

Is Iodized Salt Bad for You?
Not inherently—but the belief that iodized salt is enough can be misleading and even harmful. People have reduced salt intake due to fears of high blood pressure, and many households no longer use salt at all. But the real issue isn’t iodized salt itself—it’s the lack of awareness about where we get our iodine and how much we really need.

So, is iodized salt bad for you? No—but relying solely on it for your iodine intake might be.
